Holden (215/60 R16 V) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
Have changed from the Holden "prefered equipment" of Bridgestone Turunza 215/60R/16/90V ($145.00 each) that were fantastic, but not made in Australia anymore and very expensive to replace, so I looked up reports and reviews and came up with the Continental UC6 ($104.00each) at a discount price from a local fitter. They are grippy, quiet and responsive and the car is getting better fuel miles than before. I have seen some reviews saying these were expensive, but I disagree, cheaper, better and more effective than the competition. I will fit another set for sure.

Just bought this set of continental UC6 tyres right after my Yokohama Advan Fleva V701. The suspension set up is an adjustable coilovers. The dry and wet are incredible. The tyres are way much quieter and more comfortable. It makes it more fun to drive as compare to the previous tyres. Will review more after a couple of mileage.

I am not familiar with continental tyre and confusing with the model names called "ultra". I read the review that shows good response then I give a a green buy. About the comfort and noise, it is excellent. But for handling and safety at high speed, I will say so so and make me worry as I like to cruise at high speed. I put this one to my Estima that I plan to for more comfort and less noise cruising. I realize that it is not a best choice for UC6 as it is too soft y for the side wall. Mfg tyre pressure is 33psi that has give you the body rolling over when cornering and bouncing when travelling straight line. To improve it, I purposely add in 1-2 psi to increase the stiffness of side wall. Yes, it helps. I was choosing between BS GR100 and Conti MC5. Thus, next time I shall have consult with expert to have a better handling performance tyre but also enjoy the comfort and quiet at versatile choice.

I AM VERY SATISFY THIS TYRE BECAUSE IT.S REALLY GOOD FOR SEMI-PERFORMANCE CAR, DRY GRIP AND WET GRIP ALSO VERY WELL, NEVER WILL LOST CONTROL OR SOUND WHEN CORNERING.

THE COMFORT WILL STILL GOOD BECAUSE NOT MUCH NOISY, BUT WHEN PASSING RUGGED ROAD WILL HAVE A BIT OMISSIONS. SO FAR YES, I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TYRE, IT'S SAFE AND FUN.

The difference between Dunlop Enasave Ec 300 and Continental UC6 is big. I can go 100kph without realizing it with my Mazda 2 sedan. I find that the dry and wet grip of the tyre is very good if compared to my original stock Dunlop tyre. I'm not sure about the wear rate as i've just fitted the tyre for only 2 months. UC 6 might not have the same comfort level with the CC6 but for a tyre meant for handling and griping, i find it surprisingly comfortable. The downside of the tyre is that it costs me a fortune even though it was made in Malaysia , my own country, the price shouldn't be setting that high. Overall i would recommend UC 6 to those who wish to seek for good handling and comfort if one dont wish to use sport tyres .
